In the spirit of this partnership, this issue contains a strong balance of historical and contemporary analysis, examining topics ranging from the use of social media as a tool of workers' dissent, to the experience of race and labour in the 19th century wilderness.

We hope to see this CCLH-CAWLS partnership to flourish in the years to come, as we seek to synthesize the wide study of the Canadian working class historically, today, and into the future!
